Appointments There were no appointments for review. D. Agenda Modifications There were no agenda modifications this evening. II. CITIZEN INPUT, PUBLIC HEARINGS & CORRESPONDENCE A. Public Hearings 1. Application No. ANX0004-97 O3.1 AN×0004-97 A petition to annex to the city of Auburn approximately 280 acres of property located adjacent to the city limits of Auburn in the Lakeland area located in Pierce County. The property is located in Section 5 and 6, Township 20 North, Range 5 East. Assistant Planning Director Rued presented the staff report on Application Number ANX0004-97. Mr. Rued displayed a map of the proposed annexation area. The proposed Page 2 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 annexation area consists of 280 acres. Most of the area is owned by the Lakeland Company with the exception of three parcels. The Lakeland Company also owns an additional 400 acres in Pierce County that the City intends to annex sometime in the future. All of the area is included in the City's Potential Annexation Area. Last year, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4867 which authorized the Lakeland Utilities and Annexation Agreement. The Agreement gave the City power of attorney to start the annexation process at any time. In November 1996, the City Council authorized staff to start the annexation process. Part of the process also includes an amendment of the Zoning Code to reflect the Lakeland zoning and development of a school impact fee ordinance. Mr. Rued advised that Pierce County has adopted a school impact fee ordinance for all of Pierce County including the Dieringer School District. Staff will likely recommend adopting the Pierce County school impact fees as part of the City's school impact fee ordinance. The City will be required to amend the sewer and water comprehensive plans to reflect service to areas in Pierce County. Ordinances amending the zoning code and implementing school impact fees have been drafted and are being reviewed by the Lakeland Company and Dieringer School District representatives. Water utility staff have been working with Pierce County officials to secure the approval necessary to provide sewer and water services. Water service has been an issue with Pierce County, and the City of Bonney Lake has filed a lawsuit against the City of Auburn regarding water service. The annexation process was expedited in order to facilitate resolution of the water service dispute. The proposed uses within the 280 acre annexation area are primarily single family residential. The location for a proposed adult community has been changed, and plans for the adult community are not final. The City's land use plan has been amended to reflect the land uses already approved by Pierce County. Pierce County has approved a Planned Development District for the Lakeland property which will allow 3,400 dwelling units, some commercial areas, open space and park development. Pierce County Page 3 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2. t997 has approved three single family plats within the annexation area. Mr. Rued reported that staff members have been meeting with Lakeland Company representatives to resolve requirements of the annexation agreement. Transportation has been an issue since the annexation agreement provides for a development cap of 600 vehicle trips to maintain the City's level of service. Other issues relate to the amount of required park land and water and sewer service. Provision of police services has not been an issue since the Lakeland patrol district will be expanded to serve the annexed area. The City can provide most services to the annexation area with little impact except in the case of fire and emergency services. The Fire Departmenrs response time to the Pierce County line is approximately seven minutes. Ideally, the response time should be five minutes. Response time to locations within the proposed plats of the annexation area exceeds seven minutes. Proposed mitigation may include requiring the developer to provide funding for a fire station, imposing impact fees, or requiring sprinklered buildings. Mr. Rued explained the next step for the annexation process. If Council decides to proceed with the annexation following the hearing this evening, Council's decision should include instructions to direct staff to prepare a Notice of Intention for submission to Pierce County Boundary Review Board. The Boundary Review Board has a 45 day period during which other affected parties can invoke their jurisdiction. If jurisdiction is invoked, the Boundary Review Board will conduct their own public hearing and issue a decision. If the Boundary Review Board decision is favorable, the City Council will consider an ordinance approving the annexation. During the interim, staff will be working to resolve the zoning, school impact fee, and fire service issues. In response to a question from Councilmember Brothers, Fire Chief Johnson reported that the response times for fire service referred to by Mr. Rued are response times from either Station 32 or Station 33. The response time from Station 32 or 33 to the Pierce County boundary is seven Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 minutes. The response time to the middle of the annexation area is eight minutes and as much as ten or twelve minutes further into the annexation area. Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. Rick Pierce, The Lakeland Company, 108 South Division, Auburn, WA, 98001 Mr. Pierce identified himself as the Vice President of The Lakeland Company. He was accompanied by Steve Sheehy, legal counsel to The Lakeland Company; Chuck Henderson, Chairman and owner of Lakeland; and Ken Kinared of The Lakeland Company. Mr. Pierce expressed Lakeland Company's support for proceeding with the annexation, and thanked Assistant Planning Director Rued for his assistance in processing the annexation petition. Mr. Pierce submitted a letter addressed to Mayor Booth from Charles L. Henderson and dated June 2, 1997. The letter outlines Lakeland Company's position on some of the issues to be resolved. Mr. Pierce expressed optimism that the remaining issues will be resolved prior to Council's final action on the annexation. He urged the City Council to proceed with the annexation process. Theron Gibson, 3206 West Tapps Drive East, Sumner, WA, 98390 Mr. Gibson identified himself as Fire Chief for Pierce County Fire District No. 22. Using a map of the potential annexation area, Chief Gibson pointed out an area within the proposed annexation area which he referred to as "Section 5." Section 5 is within Pierce County Fire District No. 22. Chief Gibson pointed out an adjacent area which he referred to as "Section 6". He advised that Pierce County Fire District No. 22 currently contracts with Lakeland to provide services to the area, and discussions are underway to annex the area to District No. 22. Chief Gibson expressed concern with long range plans for providing service to the Lakeland area. He proposed that District No. 22 could provide services that would mitigate some of the impacts on fire service. He reported the District Commissioners are considering providing 24-hour paramedic/fire fighter engine service which would be within three miles of the Lakeland area. Page 5 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2. 1997 Chief Gibson advised that the failure to come to an interim short-term and a long-term agreement for fire protection service to the area could prompt the District to contest the annexation to the Boundary Review Board. Seth Bottcher, PO Box 7380, Bonney Lake, WA, 98390 Mr. Bottcher identified himself as Public Works Director for the City of Bonney Lake. Mr. Bottcher acknowledged that the cities of Auburn and Bonney Lake are at odds regarding water service to the Lakeland area. The City of Bonney Lake will lose a large portion of its water service area if the City of Auburn proceeds with annexation of the Lakeland area. Mr. Bottcher advised that losing a large portion of the City's service area is harmful to the City of Bonney Lake and hampers the ability of Bonney Lake to efficiently service areas around the north end of Lake Tapps. Mr. Bottcher advised the City of Bonney Lake does not object to Auburn's annexation of Lakeland, but requested the City's respect for Bonney Lake's water service area. He suggested the City of Bonney Lake can provide water service to the area most economically and with greater reliability. Mr. Bottcher offered to meet with City officials to discuss a resolution of the water service issue. Councilmember Wagner noted that the proposed annexation area is approximately one square mile in size, and asked Mr. Botcher the size of Bonney Lake's water service area. Mr. Botcher estimated the City of Bonney Lake's water service area is approximately 10 to 12 square miles. Gene Peterson, RH2 Engineering, 8383 115th Avenue NE, Redmond, WA Mr. Peterson spoke on behalf of the City of Bonney Lake. Mr. Peterson presented Council with a handout which consisted in part of the City of Auburn 1996 Lakeland Hills Water Plan Supplement to the 1995 Comprehensive Water Plan. Mr. Peterson noted that the Plan lists approximately $11 million in water system improvements necessary to provide service to the Lakeland annexation area. He also noted that the Plan provides that the improvements shall be paid for by system development charge revenue, and the City's current water system development charge is Page 6 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 approximately $870 per connection. He pointed out the plan also identifies 2,100 new connections. He questioned the amount of system development revenue generated versus the cost of the improvements needed to serve the area. He estimated the City's shortfall would be approximately $7.5 million. Mr. Peterson questioned whether the City plans to make up the shortfall through increased rates or increased system development charges. He asked the City to postpone the annexation in order to further assess the fiscal impacts as well as the fire service impacts of the annexation before proceeding to approve the annexation. Dwight Holobaugh, City of Auburn, 25 West Main Street, Auburn, WA, 98001 Mr. Holobaugh is the Utilities Engineer for the City of Auburn. He responded to comments made by Mr. Peterson during the public hearing. He referred to 1996 Lakeland Hills Water Plan Supplement Figure 10-1. He noted that the area identified in the Plan Supplement includes an area north of the Pierce County line. He estimated that 60-70% of the Plan Supplement area is north of the Pierce County line. Mr. Holobaugh reported that Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) for the Potential Annexation Area was originally estimated at $11 million, but is now estimated to be $13 million. He expects that the City will acquire $2.5 million in charges in lieu of assessment along the main lines, $1.25 million from participation in the joint reservoir which leaves a balance of approximately $9.5 million. The supplement also projects a total population of 33,000 in the planning area or approximately 12,000 equivalent residential units. Based on the projected number of equivalent residential units, the current system development charge will yield approximately $10 million in revenue. Therefore, no shortfall in funding is expected for the Capital Improvement Projects for the area. Mr. Holobaugh noted that the City's system development charge is based on historical costs and not future costs in that future participants in the system pay their fair share of the existing system. He also noted that the City's current system development charge is $870.00 compared to system development charges for City of Covington at $6,155, King County Water District No. 111 at $3,700, and Lakehaven Water District at $2,600. Page 7 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 Councilmember Brothers questioned whether the City would be liable for costs if the area did not develop according to the City's projections. Utilities Engineer Holobaugh explained that the improvements and costs will be phased in which enables the City to spread out the costs depending upon the growth in the area. Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember Wagner to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember Wagner to instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documentation for the annexation for submission to the Boundary Review Board. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. On the advice of City Attorney Reynolds, a new motion was made to include the approval of the annexation and preparation of the necessary documents. Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember Wagner to approve the annexation and request the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documentation and submit it to the Boundary Review Board. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. 2. Comprehensive Plan Amendments to Comply with Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board Decision of February 3. 1997. 03.4.3 The amendments to the City Comprehensive Plan are to comply with an order issued by the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board to amend specific sections of the Plan. The Growth Management Hearings Board ruled that the City must make minor revisions to Policy CF-62 dealing with essential public facilities. Page 8 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 Senior Planner Bob Sokol presented the staff report for the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. He recalled that last October the City Council adopted Comprehensive Plan amendments to comply with the Growth Management Hearings Board decision of May 10, 1996. The amendments included revisions to the transportation elemenrs traffic forecasting methodology, the transportation element's assessment of impacts on adjacent jurisdictions, modification of the light industrial designation, and development of an essential public facility siting process. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad challenged the amendments to the Growth Management Hearings Board. On February 13, 1997 the Hearings Board ruled that the amendments were largely found to comply with the Growth Management Act, although the Board directed the City to make two minor revisions to its essential public facility siting process, also known as Policy CF-62. Mr. Sokol reported the City intends to fully comply with the Board's order, although Burlington Northern has appealed the Board's decision to King County Superior Court. Mr. Sokol explained that the Board's decision is very specific about the revisions needed in order to comply with the Board's Order, and the proposed amendments presented this evening strictly comply with the Board's Order. The amendments make two minor changes to Policy CF-62. One of the amendments to Policy CF-62 replaces the word "incentives" with the words "mitigating measurers" in subsection 7.d. The other amendment deletes (subsection 1 .d) the requirement that a state agency must act as a co- proponent for the essential public facility. The Planning Commission and the Planning and Community Development Committee both recommend adoption of the amendments. Mr. Sokol noted that the City has received two letters from representatives of the Burlington Northern Railroad concerning the desire to "engage the City in an open discussion" regarding the City's public facility siting process. Mr. Sokol reported City Attorney Reynolds advises that the Council not engage in these discussions due to ongoing Page 9 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 litigation with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, their appeal of the Hearings Board decision, and other reasons as outlined in his memorandum to the Planning Commission dated May 6, 1997. In response to a question from Councilmember Wagner, Senior Planner Sokol explained that the amendments proposed this evening will not prevent the City from making this years annual amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. According to the Growth Management Act, the City can amend its Comprehensive Plan any time during the year to comply with a Growth Management Hearings Board decision. Mayor Booth opened the public hearing. Perry Weinberg, Preston Gates & Ellis, 701 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, WA, 98104 Mr. Weinberg made comments on behalf of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. He expressed concern with the first paragraph of the City's recommended Comprehensive Plan amendments and requested clarification of the language. He advised that Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad believes that subsections 1 .b and 1 .c of Policy CF- 62 require a site specific analysis in the state or regional plan and is not consistent with the Board's Order. He asked the City's intent regarding paragraph 1 of Policy CF-62. Mr. Weinberg acknowledged that the City is concerned with any on-record exchange with a pending lawsuit. Mr. Weinberg pointed out there are extremely strong public participation requirements in the Growth Management Act, and prior to any policy adoption or amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires an exchange between the City and those affected by the policy. Mr. Weinberg requested, as part of the public participation responsibility under the Growth Management Act, a discussion of the issues prior to adoption. Mr. Weinberg proposed an amendment to Policy CF-62. He proposed amending the first paragraph of the Policy to read as follows: "The City will review proposals through the Page 10 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 process outlined in parts (3) through (7) below, if the essential public facility largely serves a regional, countywide, statewide or national need and is inc, ludod within an adoptod state or regional plan which meets the following criteria:". Mr. Weinberg advised the Railroad is not concerned with meeting the criteria contained in subsections b and c, but opposes tying it specifically to a state or regional adopted plan. He contended the proposed language is inconsistent with the Board's specific directive. Mr. Weinberg asked that the May 19, 1997 letter addressed to City Attorney Michael J. Reynolds from Eric S. Laschever and the May 6, 1997 letter addressed to the Planning Commission from Eric Laschever and Matthew Wells are incorporated as part of the record. For the record he asked whether Policy CF-62 subsection 1 .a requires the state or regional planning agency to hold a hearing in city of Auburn, whether it requires the agency to hold a public hearing somewhere in the geographic area covered by the state or regional plan, whether it requires the agency to hold any hearings in addition to those already called for by the agency's existing public participation process. He explained the purpose of his questions is to determine whether the Policy imposes any additional requirements on a state or regional agency. He questioned whether Policy CF-62 subsection 1.b requires that the state or regional planning agency analyze specific alternative sites in and outside of Auburn, or can it be-satisfied by the applicanrs analysis of alternative sites when it comes forward with a proposal. He also questioned whether Policy CF-62 subsection 1.c requires the state or regional planning agency to analyze the impacts of the specific essential public facilities and identify appropriate mitigation measures, or can it be satisfied by the applicant's analysis of the impacts. Mr. Weinberg indicated the language of Policy CF-62 is ambiguous and suggests a process by which an applicant needs to go first to a state or regional plan. Motion by Councilmember Borden, second by Councilmember Wagner to close the public hearing. Page 11 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2. 1997 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.

Ordinance No. 4955 F2.4.9 LID 347 An Ordinance ordering the construction of street improvements including the construction of the east half- street, curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveways, water, sewer stubs for future extension, storm drainage, lighting and undergrounding existing power to "B" Street N.W. and other Page 15 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 1997 improvements related thereto, all in accordance with Resolution No. 2832 of the City Council; establishing Local Improvement District No. 347 and ordering the carrying out of the proposed improvement; providing that payment for the improvement be made in pad by special assessments upon the property in the district, payable by the mode of "payment by bonds"; and providing for the issuance and sale of local improvement District Warrants redeemable in cash or other shod-term financing and local improvement district bonds. Prior to reading Ordinance No. 4955 by title only, City Attorney Reynolds noted for the record that the preliminary assessment roll for the LID was revised to reflect a decrease in the assessment amounts for property owners and an increase in the City's contribution for LID 347. Motion by Councilmember Wagner, second by Councilmember Cerino to introduce and adopt Ordinance No. 4955. Councilmember Wagner repoded that at the direction of the Council, the Public Works Committee furlher reviewed LID 347 for possible ways to increase the City's padicipation in the LID. He noted that it is not common for the City to padicipate in this type of project, and improvements are usually paid for by the developers as they occupy their property. Several of the properly owners were allowed a Street Delay Agreement at the time they occupied their properly. Chair Wagner advised the Public Works Committee is disappointed that the property owners are still unsatisfied with the City's level of padicipation; however, no additional funding for the project is available for the next five to ten years. Councilmember Brothers inquired whether the Public Works Committee investigated the possibility of shod-term renovation of the street. Councilmember Wagner responded that the Committee determined that the cost of a shod-term renovation project would cost the City hundreds of thousands of dollars and would be a poor investment. Councilmember Wagner noted that the LID is for a half- street improvement, and a half-street of right-of-way exists Page 16 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes June 2. 1997 for future development. If future demand on the street requires development of the remaining half-street, the City will bear the cost of developing the remaining half-street. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0. 2.
